Seems like a cool store but they're closed at 1pm on a Friday for some reason, despite their business hours stating otherwise. Covid fears I'm guessing. I don't feel bad for small businesses who voluntarily close when everyone else is open. A wild bird store of all places probably isn't going to survive if that's their mentality. Lady came out to offer a brochure. No thanks. I'll just buy from Amazon or one of your competitors instead. It's a shame cuz I was probably going to buy $150 worth of stuff. Oh well. Also, you should probably save your future customers the hassle by updating your hours if you're planning on staying closed.

The staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable. While you can certainly find basic wild bird feeding supplies for cheaper at Walmart or Fred Meyer, this place has a much wider selection of bird foods and feeders. You can get hot pepper laced bird seed cakes which will prevent squirrel issues, since the squirrels won't eat spicy things, yet the birds aren't bothered by it at all. The staff here can make recommendations of what to buy if you tell them which kind of birds you want to attract to your yard. Excellent shop promoting a wonderful hobby; definitely check it out.

Found the exact item I wanted for my wife's Christmas gift, not expensive. They have a great deal of quality gear for attracting birds in a wide range of price levels and the lady assisting was quite knowledgeable and helpful.

If you like bird watching from your porch while drinking coffee, having a meal or kicking back, these folks have what you need in food, feeders and advise. Here in North Bend near Rattlesnake Lake I get at least a dozen different birds.

Questions & Answers

How do I keep squirrels away from my bird feeder?

Try offering them their own feeding station with their favorite foods like corn or nuts. Use a squirrel-proof bird feeder, like the Eliminator. Place a baffle on your feeder pole. Use dome baffles above bird feeders. Try an OnGuard™ wire mesh cage around your existing feeders to keep squirrels from reaching the food. Fill your bird feeders with safflower seeds, many songbirds will eat safflower, but squirrels typically won't.

How do I stop birds from hitting my window?

Here are a few options: Set up a window feeder, it will keep the birds safe from striking the window and provide close views of them feeding. If your feeding station is in the direct vicinity of a window, move it to within three feet of the window. Install window screens. Decals and stained-glass decorations are moderately successful. Hanging vertical exterior tape stripes across the window at 4 inches (10 cm) intervals.

I put out a new feeder and the birds are not eating from it, when will they find it?

After installing a new feeder it can take a day or a number of weeks before the birds will readily take to it even if it replaces an existing feeder. Patience is key when birds are getting used to a new feeder. Birds generally find their food by sight. Placing your feeder where it will be visible to them should decrease the time it takes for birds to start feeding. Sprinkling some food on the ground or on top of the feeder can help, too.

I found a baby bird, what should I do?

The best thing to do if you find a baby bird is to leave it alone. If the bird appears as though it has fallen from a nest, an attempt to locate the nest can be made, and the bird can be carefully returned. If the bird has feathers, it may be a fledged bird and a parent bird is probably close by. It is best to watch the bird from a distance to see if a parent returns after an hour or so before determining that the bird needs human help.

Do you sell birds?

We don't sell birds. We sell backyard bird feeding supplies including seed, feeders, and bird baths.
